Schedule 40 Cross
Bidding a job & need contractor pricing?
We've got you covered!
Schedule 40 PVC cross fittings are a plumbing component used in fluid conveyance systems to create a junction point for multiple pipeline branches with minimal labor. The Schedule 40 cross is a four way, full flow fitting. PVC cross fittings are used to join four pipe sections into a single network for directing and allowing liquid flow at 90-degree right angles. Our cross fittings are USA made to top industry standards to ensure a consistent inner diameter for smooth fluid flow and optimal performance.
Used primarily in low pressure scenarios, Schedule 40 PVC crosses are commonly used in water treatment plants, chemical processing operations, and irrigation systems. The corrosion resistant properties and high strength-to-weight ratio of PVC, make these cross fittings a reliable choice for freshwater applications and the safe transport of compatible chemicals. Uniform dimensions and durability provide easy installation and long term service across different operational environments. PVC cross fittings are best suited for uses with lower overall fluid pressure.
Sch 40 PVC Cross Sizes and Options
Sch 40 PVC cross fitting sizes are available between 1/2 inch to 4 inches in diameter. These sizes are common in irrigation, near-property water distribution, and industrial operations. Larger diameters are not available due to the greater working strain experienced by a four-way connection. PVC cross fittings feature a four-way slip connection, also known as a socket joint. A primer and pipe cement will be required for a secure, leak free connection.
Quality and Safety Standards
Our Schedule 40 PVC pipe cross fittings are American made by industry leading manufacturers to meet or exceed ASTM D 1784 and ASTM D 2466 plumbing standards. The fittings are NSF certified for potable water applications.
Applications and Uses
Schedule 40 PVC cross fittings are used in various industries to manage liquids such as water, chemicals, and solutions safely, effectively, and quickly. In potable water distribution, cross fittings help direct water supply lines to homes and buildings. In agriculture, gardening, and landscaping, PVC crosses branch water lines for irrigation systems. Chemical manufacturing and industrial settings use cross fittings when distribution between equipment is required in multiple directions. The fittings are also used in wastewater treatment to separate different effluent streams.
